I have this problem as well. It prevents me from using programs that are dependent on avahi-daemon (such as padevchooser).
I have a fully updated jaunty. This problem did not happen in intrepid or any earlier ubuntu versions, and I haven't changed anything in my network (I connect through a wireless router which in turn is connected to an adsl modem).
Where is this ".local" domain set up and how can I change it?

I've found a temporary fix which needs to run after every boot:
[code]sudo rm /var/run/avahi-daemon/disabled-for-unicast-local
sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart[/code]
